I work in a pretty big office. There are between 2,000-3,000 employees that work here on any given day.
I work in an area of about 30-35 people. The group I work with includes myself and one other person. Which is nice since not many people bother us about doing our jobs, because both of us like getting our stuff done with.
A sister group of ours consists about 8 people and they answer customer calls and assist them with any web problems they may have. One person in this group I call the wonderer.
As in all they do is wonder around the office bothering people, I am not sure is he is aware that he is bothering people but just by the looks people give him and how short they are with him should be enough of a hint, but I guess not.
I think he searches for some kind of self gratification, as in when he takes a call he has to run to his supervisor and tell her all about it, which I then hear to because, in the land of cubicles, mine is right be hers. I don’t know why he needs a “pat on the back” for everything he does. I guess he wants to feel important.
He’s one of those people who has worked in that group for a long time and applies for every open position here, but fails to get it because his reputation precedes him.
I think he means well, but he’s gotten on my nerves as we see him wondering around looking for people to listen to him about the latest phone call he received.
My co-worker just wants to pick him up and throw him back down in his chair and once said he would like to “nail him with a bat” all said jokingly, because I don’t see him ever doing that.
So Mr. Wonder, do us all a favor and just SIT THE F*CK DOWN!
